Lice Treatment

Various forms of head Lice Treatment!

Head lice are one of the most common and recurring form of lice. There are other types of lice including body, sea and book lice. You might have never had of them but they do exist. Sadly children are more prone to the attack of lice as they mix with other children at school and at play.

Knowing more about them may reduce chances of having an encounter with them. So let me enlighten you more about lice treatments, particularly head lice treatments.

Vinegar: Wash your hair thoroughly with vinegar if you are looking for a more natural way to get rid of them. Don’t mix it any shampoo or mixture for best results. White vinegar will kill all these flat backed insects in the next two days or so. Vinegar is also good in hair growth. It provides the necessary nutrients for long and healthy hair. Now that’s killing two birds with one stone.

Mayonnaise: An alternative lice treatment is the application of mayonnaise. It’s not the best treatment for head lice because it leaves your hair oily but is an alternative. Mayonnaise can be used in the place of your usual hair food. Massage the mayonnaise into your hair the same way when applying hair food or hair gel.

Personal Hygiene: Avoid sharing combs. This is one of the easiest ways that lice spread from one head to another. If you think sharing on with your sister should not be a problem then you better make sure that big sis does not have head lice. This remedy also applies to several other types of lice. Rather you can sterilize your combs if you insist on sharing. This is one of the natural treatments for head lice. Don’t get me wrong though, head lice are not attracted to dirt or unseemliness. They love clean hair much better than unclean, oily hair. Just take extra precautions.

Mouth Wash: Not just any mouth wash mind you but Listerine mouth wash. It’s my personal favorite. All you have to do is rub it in your hair and wear a shower cap over your hair. Leave your hair like that over 24 hours or so. After the mentioned period remove your shower cap and rinse your hair in cold water.

Last but not least, manual removal of these lice is the best treatment for head lice. It takes time and you will have to get someone to do the picking for you for more effective results. If you are looking for natural lice treatments then this one is highly recommended.
